Murdaugh family’s former Moselle home listed for sale at $1.9 million
The former home of Alex Murdaugh and his family is back on the market at $1.95 million, according to Monday real estate listing from Crosby Land Company.
In March of this year, the Moselle home and surrounding 1,700 acres were sold to James Ayer and Jeffrey Godley for $3.9 million, according to a Colleton County sale deed. Around $2.7 million of the initial sale was awarded to the family of 19-year-old Mallory Beach, who died in 2019 when Alex Murdaugh’s murdered son, Paul Murdaugh, crashed a boat with himself, Beach and others inside.
Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son, Buster Murdaugh, received around $500,000 from the property sale.
After Paul and Maggie Murdaugh’s brutal deaths, which Alex Murdaugh was convicted of on March 3, family members testified the property fell out of use.
Madison Terry of Crosby Land Company told The Island Packet this new listing is for Moselle’s primary home and 21 surrounding acres, with the previous buyers retaining ownership of the rest of the property.
The 5,275 square-foot estate boasts 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, and has largely been refurnished. The Murdaugh family’s household items, including living room furniture, hunting trophies and dishware were auctioned off en masse in late March.
Showings of the estate, which the realtors describe as the “quintessential Southern vision” of a classic home, require appointments. Buyers must be pre-approved for purchase before visiting.
